Package: deluge
Version: 1.3.5-0ubuntu1
Severity: normal
Upstream tried to push a version with the new init script to their PPA, and got
user reports of upgrade issues:
Setting up deluged (1.3.5-0~lucid~ppa1) ...
dpkg-statoverrides: An override for '/var/log/deluged' already exists,
aborting.
dpkg: error processing deluged (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
deluged
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
There needs to be a test for dpkg-statoverride before adding. This hasn't
popped up in Debian yet as there has only been one version with the postinst
script, but it will next time you upload anew package.
Patch attached.
Thanks!
Andrew Starr-Bochicchio
